marshy lands on the banks Of the Glynne
and Isis.
He clambered up to the window, and
with bated breath again looked through
its cobWebby panes. Darkness lay every
where. Scarcely light tWinkled on that
side of the town and great stiffness,
we have said, prevailed. He tried the
screw, clutching the knob with trembling
fingers, and his heart seemed to die away
on finding that It was immoyable-fast
as tight turning and Cid rust could
make it.
Precipitation burst upon his temples,
and the tXultant vissge of old PugWash,
wedged in between his stiff collars, came
in fancy before him. What YVES he to do?
To smash tre glasses would not avail
him sn6 might only cause an alarm; and
ne had been deprived OF his pocket-knite,
with which he might have cut round the
belt
Again he tried if, with all his strength
and prayer on his lips.
1t yielded-it moved at last. Exult-
sntly, breathlessly, slowly, he turned it
round, till it came forth and fell on the
plank bed below. Then Dick found that
both sashes moved horizontally on pivots :;
he pushed open the lower one and felt the
chill air of the last night OF November on
his flushed and heated face.
He peered forth. Around him sll was
still, lonely and silent, save the bark of q
distant dog and the clock in the old
Chsutry church tower striking the hour
of eleven.
The ground below looked far down-he
could rot see it in the hsze and obscurity,
but Judged correctly that 1t gave drop
of about fifteen feet.
What If in dropping:be broke a leg? Well
happen what might, the attempt must
be made now, though if Bingo barked in
exultation on being brought forth, all
might be lost yet.
To muffie and break the fall of himself
and his dog, he threw out the blankets,
letting them drop in hesp pretty close
to the wall. Then he put the terrier
on the window sill, snd passing out feet
foremost, let himself down to his full
length by one arm end hand, clutching
Bipgo by the other, and dropped deity as
Cat on the ground below-the concus-
sion being alike broken by the blankets
and the soft wet turf on which they lsy.
Dick lighted on his feet, but fell prone
on his back, and though shaken, was only
bresthless for half minute; but not
bit the worse for the adventure, and Still
grasping bis dog to prevent it from bark
ing, he began his flight without the delay
of second.

man who, if what report says of him is
true, is certainly one of the most remark
able phenomena on record. The papers
state as 8 positive fact that he has nc
blood in his veins, end that g committee
Of the leading physicians and scientists
have declared their inability to &C
count for this extraordinary circumstance.
The msn is corporal in the German
army, and goes by the name Of Otto
Schneider. He himself WAS quite uncon-
sciOus of his bloodless condition until two
months ago, when he fought S duel with
s fellow soldier. His opponent ran his
sword through his body without, however,
drawing any blood, and the "pstlent"
seemed not bit the worse. The man
was SO taken by surprise that Otto had
no trouble in killing him. Since that
time the comrades CT the Corporal have
been careful not to tread OF his toes, land
on no consideration to accept challenge
from him. He was submitted to
severe test ct g medical institute st
Berlin. A knife was thrust into his
mouth, the point coming oat at the back
Of the cheek. Not drop Of blood was
spilled, and Otto felt no pam during the
operation. The gentlemen who examined
him are now fully convinced that there
are many Things in Heaven and earth that
they never dreamed of. Otto Schneider
intends as soon as his time is up (the
next year, to show himself in the princi-

Admit @coi Du'Y Free.

As the Record nus shown from the OFF,
ciaI data, the importations of WColi in 1880
exceeded $1,000, 600 pounds. In 1873,
under the same high tariff rates, the ins
ports # wool amounted to upward of
122, 600, 600 pounds. These were the
largest importstions of the commodity
ever known save in 1886, when the total
was little over 129. 100000 pounds.
But in a circular just issued
By the Wool Merchants Association it
seems to serve the purpose of that body
TO ignore the importatloDS of 1880 and
compare the wool imports of 1881, 1882
and 1888, when there was e great slumpin
the wool market, with the three succeed
ing years, and to sdduce this depression
in price as proof of the effect produced by
the slight reduction of duties In the Forty
seventh Congress. How, then, does TIE
association account for the enormous i'm
portations OF wool in 1872 and 1880, when
both the prices and the duties were
higher?
In the circular statistics are presented
to show the disastrous effects of the dis
eliminating rates of duty imposed upon
WOODEN srd worsted goods. These un-
Just Determinations were made in 1867 by

which WIS supposed to have the

Secretary Fairchild, in his report,
earnestly invoices the attention of Con-
gress to this subject, and II doing so he
says that "there Is much reason to be-
lieve that the manufacture of worsted
goods must soon cease In this country

II wool should be admitted free of duty
and the rates upon woolens and worsted
goods should be reduced to similarly
equitable level, tina manufacturers of both
would have no just cause of complaint.

A Cure for Rydrophabias
Cincinnati ENQUIRER,


Your account in last Sundays issue of
the death of Stephen Dieterich from
hydrophobia prompts me to furnish the
following for publication:
My parents VINO were Quakers, came
to 0 lio from Eastern Pennsylvania. One
of the things they were careful to tell
their children, and charge them to
remember, WAS that elecampane is
a sure preventive OF hydro
phobis; and the plant was often pointed
out to Us, so that We could not fail to re-
coguize it. 1 have frequently heard my
parents relate that the next year after
their settlement in Ohio very vicious
mad dog appeared in the neighborhood,
and bit many domestic animals, all OF
which were attacked with rabies and were
killed. except several hogs that
were owned by the man Of whom
my father purchased his farm,
which were put in q pen
and detection of elecampane fed to them
in milk for several days. They all
escaped Other neighbors would not try
the remedy. The same man owned q
yourg horse, which was not known to
have been bitten until he was attacked
with rabies. All animals attacked were
shot, and the losses of the early settlers
in that region were quite serious, as they
were not blessed with abundance.
About ten years ago Mrs. SsViSshelm,
the authoress, wrote sn account CT the
remedy at the urgent request, IS she
sta ed, of lady friend who resided in
Eastern Pennsylysnis, which was pub
lished IN Pittsburg newspaper. She
gave the same story that my parents did
as TO the faith in It's fficscy in that region
The remedy is said to have teen family
secret until disclosed by an inebriate son
for money to buy whisky.
A strong decoction of the elecsmpane
is made by boiling the loot In just suffi-
cient water to cover it. The root should
be cut in TO reasonable small pieces or
crushed. The decoction is administered
in sweet milk, the amount to be two or
four tablespoonfuls four or five times in
| twenty-four hours, mixed with twice that
amount of milk. The patient must fast
two or three Gays, and then eat sparingly
for several days. After ten days decrease
the dose and its frequency gradually, and
stop taking the remedy in about three
weeks.
That this remedy IS relied upon as q
| preventive in that part OF Pennsylvania
where it wss first made public seems to
| oe fact. The plant is common In this
latitude, snd farmers generally recognize
II when they see it. Inssmuch as inocu-
lation seems to he failure, and the pos
SCISSORS of msd.stones are few and tar
spart, and doctors can accomplish moth
ing, the remedy should be given a fair
trial, and the result, il successful, should
be published. Treatment should begin as
soon as possible after the wound is re-
ceived. X. X.
